How to Help with Hair Loss

Do you suffer from excessive hair loss? Are you investing time and money into hair extensions and specialty hair products to try to achieve that full and healthy look for your hair?

You may want to look at some common health conditions that affect hair loss.

Blood sugar

Both high and low blood sugar levels can cause hair loss and hair breakage. Many practitioners recommend limiting carbohydrates in your diet to help stabilize blood sugar levels. Even healthy fruits and juices may have too much sugar if they are not balanced with high mineral vegetables. Consider using a ketogenic type diet plan to decrease carbohydrate intake and balance blood sugar levels.

Most supplements that are sold for hair health contain B vitamins such as biotin, B5, and B12, Omega 3 fatty acids, and various antioxidants. If the cause of your hair loss is a nutritional deficiency, you should consider adding in foods such as walnuts, flax seeds, salmon, avocados and lots of green leafy vegetables.

Most women notice a marked increase in hair loss during times of stress. Take time to listen to your body and identify your health needs. Actively reduce stress in your day to day activities. Eliminate sources of electromagnetic frequency exposures. Take breaks from all electronics and enjoy a moment outside. Make sleep a priority. You need 8 hours of quality sleep each night.
